New $25 million center to advance quantum science and engineering
Jun Ye
黑料社区网 has been selected to launch and lead a new science and engineering research center to explore the biggest challenges of the quantum world鈥攆rom better understanding how the atoms in an atomic clock 鈥渢ick鈥 to how those processes can improve the science of measurement and probe for mysterious dark matter.
, funded by the National Science Foundation and led by Fellow , is a major component of the campus CUbit Quantum Initiative. Q-SEnSE includes 37 researchers from 12 U.S. and international organizations and will bring together physicists and engineers to turn fundamental scientific advances into real-world technologies.
鈥淚magine if we can build robust quantum systems that can go outside of our labs, that can completely change how we sense the physical world, how we navigate and how we communicate with each other,鈥 Ye said.
